Aboriginal Cultural Centre Survey

We want to hear from you!

Establishing a flagship Aboriginal Cultural Centre with State-wide significance has been identified as a major cultural infrastructure need for Western Australia.

The Centre presents an extraordinary opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the world's oldest continuous living culture and share it with the nation and the world.

The centre will provide spaces for art, performance, education, research, community and commercial activities. 

An Aboriginal Cultural Centre of global significance will not only celebrate the diversity of WA's Aboriginal communities but inspire visitors to explore all regions of the State to experience first hand the unique offerings available.

Responses to this survey will be used to inform and guide the development of the business case for the proposed State-wide Aboriginal Cultural Centre.
